Analysis of Packaging for the LN-15S Inertial Measurement Unit.

Abstract

The evaluation of the LN-15S Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) packaging revealed that impacts on the bottom surface of the shipping container generated shock levels on the IMU which were 67% greater than the specified fragility of this item. The problem was caused by a combination of a cushion 'grip effect' of the side cushion pads and a temporary set of the cushioning material. (Author)
